Legends of Runeterra

"What's wrong? Don't you like Abike meat? Then do you want to order something else?"

Leona's cheerful and sunny voice rang out, waking up Iula who was immersed in her memories.

When she looked up, she saw the other person preparing to wave for the waiter to come over.

"Please wait, Lady Leona!"

"Ok?"

“We love that you don’t have to call someone over to add more food.”

"Really? But I see you guys don't..."

“Just seeing this kind of expensive food for the first time, we...”

"Hey! What's the big deal? Delicious food is meant to be shared. The happier you eat, the happier I am!

Besides, as a full member of the Star... Temple, I think this barbecue can barely be regarded as my compensation for letting you encounter such a thing on the day of the celebration. "

"No, sir, this is not..."

"Alright, alright, eat quickly, or the best time for the food will be over!"

"Yes, thank you sir."

Seeing this, Iula nodded and glanced at Hanni beside her.

After getting her mother's permission, the girl tried her best to suppress the urge to take a big bite and cut the steak according to traditional etiquette.

...

"It seems that all the roasted aibik meat has gone into your stomach."

"Humph! I reminded you, Li En, why are you so slow to come? Does it take so long to interrogate those guys?"

Leona, leaning back in the chair, rubbed her belly and turned her head slightly to look at Li En who came over to the side.

"Lord Li En."

"Please take a seat, you two. You're welcome."

Li En smiled gently at the mother and daughter who stood up, and sat down.

"I paid for it, but I didn't let you eat a single bite. Leona, you too..."

"Okay, okay, I'll leave it for you."

"Da~!"

Leona snapped her fingers lightly, and the guy next to the oven immediately picked up a plate and quickly walked over to Li En and put it down.

"The previous barbecue took too long to cook, so the taste won't be that good. This one is freshly cooked, so try it."

"That's more like it, thanks."

Under the gaze of Leona and the other two, Li En finished a plate of barbecue quickly and elegantly.

"How about it? Want some more?"

“It tastes good, but no thanks.”

Li En took the tissue handed to him by Leona and wiped his mouth, then looked at Iula and her daughter with a gentle gaze.

The reason why Li En's attention was attracted was not just because of the magic on the dagger, except that this was an evil thing that happened in Li En's perception.

When Iula called out the name "Palas", Li En became curious about the mother and daughter.

This name may seem ordinary, but the man represented by this name became close friends with a man named Atreus.

Or he may be better known by his other name - Pantheon, the agent chosen by the giant god of war.

Although her daughter Hanni is still a girl, Iula's face looks a little haggard, and her long flaxen hair has turned gray.

In order to confirm that the other party was indeed the wife of 'Paras' and to avoid causing misunderstanding to the poor woman, Li En decided to adopt a guided communication method.

"The previous bandits have been dealt with completely, so you two don't have to worry about them causing trouble for you again.

If you are worried, perhaps Leona and I can arrange for the patrol team of 'Lahorak' to give you a ride..."

"Lee En."

Hearing 'La Horak', Leona immediately reached out and gently pulled his sleeve.

"Uh, what's wrong Leona?"

Li En asked in a low voice, puzzled.

"See you later..."

"It's alright, Lady Leona."

Iula pulled up a smile at the corner of his mouth and looked at the two of them with calm eyes that revealed a hint of sadness.

"Actually, my husband is a member of 'La Horak', but many years ago...he...he..."

"I'm sorry Ms. Iura."

"No need to apologize, Lord Li En. Paras fell on the most glorious path. Although I am sad, I am even more proud."

"The path of glory?"

"Yes, he climbed Mount Targon with our mutual friend Atreus."

“It’s a pity that only Atreus returned, but the Order of the Blazing Sun recognized my husband’s contribution, so we were able to get a piece of fertile land, and our life is still tolerable…”

Iula said this calmly, but Leona's eyes widened slightly at the same time.

"Ms. Iula, you said that Mr. Atreus has returned, so he..."

"Well, he became the legendary Star Spirit."

"It sure is him!"

Leona was shocked. Li En, who already knew the real situation and was different from the background, was very calm in his heart. He just looked at Leona with some curiosity.

"Leona, do you mean that the Rakkor tribe had a Protoss a long time ago?"

"That's right!"

Leona nodded.

“But that star spirit was very strange. It took less than half a solar hour from the time he appeared to the time he left the Holy Temple of the Blazing Sun.

The only one who has met him, Lord Orcas... Bishop, once said that this star spirit is more like a 'god' than a 'human'!"

"What about the half solar hour He stayed there?"

"The sect's records of the person named 'Dark Descendant' don't have much information. He flipped through it and then left. He never came back, and no news came back."

Li En nodded, then looked at the mother and daughter opposite.

Although Iula had deliberately lowered her voice before, Li En still secretly made arrangements for the safety of both of them.

Not only did Iula and her daughter only hear the vague conversation between Li En and Leona, but the other customers in the store could not hear the specific content of the four people's communication.

"Ms. Iula, I wonder if you have met Mr. Atreus over the years?"

"Yes, I met him once. He was seriously injured that day. I took him back to the farm to recuperate. After he was almost healed, he left the farm. Since then, there has been no news from him."

When Atreus was mentioned, the expression on Iula's face became complicated, with nostalgia, resentment, and the deeply hidden...jealousy.

After a little thought, Li En understood some of Iura's complicated emotions. As a wife, Iura was not by her husband's side when he was dying. How could she not feel resentment and jealousy towards Atreus?

"I see. But since Mr. Atreus is a Protoss, I believe he will be fine. He may come back soon."

"Oh~! I hope so..."

"Master Li En, Master Leona, thank you for your help. I..."

Iula stood up as he spoke, holding a bag full of money in his hand. The honest and silent girl Hanni also stood up quickly.
